Question

Wonderly criticizes Hume regarding violent video games because Hume did not take ____________ into consideration.

How the games damage your intelligence

How environments affect you

None of these

How fun the games are

Answer 1

Option C (None of these)

Option B (How environments affect you), to an extent

Explanation substantiating Option C:

Wonderly’s conclusion is in line with Hume’s conception that ultra-violent video games have a negative impact on humans’ ability to empathize, which in turn affects moral judgment, since a positive correlation is hypothesized between empathy and morality.

Explanation substantiating Option B:

Wonderly equally argues that there may be many other causally relevant variables when it comes to analysing the consequences of the subject matter in hand, such as, early abuse and other environmental factors such as a violent neighbourhood.
